These theorems have all been scientifically verified:

1. Boys will be boys.
2. It ain't over till it's over.
3. A bitch iz a bitch.
4. When you're hot, you're hot.
(Corrolary: When you're not, you're not.)
5. "If we don't succeed, then we run the risk of failure." (Thanks to Professor G.W. Bush for that one.)

Three, Four or Five Unlikely Lads Single-Handedly Save Rock From Imaginary Clutches of Manufactured Pop Using Only Three Or Less Gimmicks!!

Subheadline: Described in Unnervingly Messianic Terms/in Unnervingly Everyman Terms/as "The Last Important Band Ever" by Easily-Mocked Music Magazine Q, Pretend to Have Existed Before Similar-Sounding Band R.

When asked for comment, the alluringly gangly/adorably overweight singer was heard to remark: "We just got together based on our mutual love of Freakishly Obscure Band X, Well-Known Band Y, and Cult Band Z/our mutal desire for pop stardom/our mutual amazement at seeing Watermark Show A by Mainstream Band B before they were popular. We just wanted to play music like they used to back in the time before any one of us was born/become massive stars. We never expected this kind of success/always knew we were destined for stardom.

alright guys, we're way off topic.

i actually watched about three-five minutes of this show last night. fucking ridiculously terribly awful. embarassing. even by hank's standards.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Monday, 10 April 2006 05:39 (twenty years ago)

I'm guessing here, but am I right in thinking that you already weren't a fan of the man before those three-five minutes you so generously offered him for convincing you?

I've got a lot of his albums, some of his books, all of his spoken word stuff (saw his spoken word show in Antwerp a couple of weeks ago - awesome. funny AND angry AND right on about most things, how can anyone not be a fan of his spoken word stuff?).

I may not like _everything_ he does (haven't seen any TV shows of his and I don't like everything he plays on that online radio show I checked out a few times online), but I do think he deserves more respect for doing all the things he tries and mostly succeeds in than just about anyone else I can think of.

― StanM (StanM), Monday, 10 April 2006 06:22 (twenty years ago)

I hate the "edgy" camera angles during his monologue.

Hahaha, I don't think there's anyone you can say this about. Maybe zombie mark twain, but even then I bet his pronounciation would be sloppy.
